Les - your survivor series is what made me a fan of your work. Your Bigfoot series took it to the next level for me! I love these episodes! By far my favorite!
ditto
I agree , i was always a fan, and now even more so. I also love his approach to this phenomenon
Yep, same for me
very cool
@@floridabigfoot7657 ayo
No lie, your series is what brought the sasquatch phenomenon to my attention and really made me fall in love with the phenomenon and the history around it. So thank you Les, for helping me find one of the most interesting mysteries and helping me learn more about it
Me too.. I love it!!
The myths and subculture is a better than saying phenomenon. It’s more accurate.
This episode is quite probably one of the best in this particular series. Well produced; excellent audio support and of course, Les himself giving insight and anecdotes to enhance the experience. Thanks for the Director's Cut. I for one am looking forward to your further explorations of this subject.
Les has a way of making you feel as though your with him through each episode. He's better than anyone I've seen at this so many times I've felt as if I was sitting there and he was talking to me.
@@brentblakely2583 What a dumb comment, dude. Should have kept that to yourself.
@@brentblakely2583 why did such a comment make you so upset, bro? No hard feelings man. I truly want to understand your perspective. I just don’t think this dude deserved the hostility you instilled upon him. If you want, we can talk about it.
You're a legend, Les. One of the few Canadians we can be proud of. Much respect and keep it up.
The drumming is incredible, my nephew drums and sings for our tribe, the last time I heard it was at my brothers funeral.
Was watching this fire side at the cabin about 2am. Never in my life have I been so scared by a noise from the woods
I loved the Bigfoot series you did. I am so happy you did this one. Great job Les. Please keep them coming.
2 hours almost 6k view's! Who dosent like the Sasquatch!
21:42 ... 'The Options' ... (1) mistaken identification, (2) delusional perception, (3) deliberate misrepresentation, (4) factual representation [or accurate observation] ... I would also include (5) personal [deep-rooted] obsession ... I would tend to put Todd Standing in this category.
Les Stroud is the man!
Nice video. RE: the Sea Lion skeleton on the beach - I'm not a marine biologist, but close enough. I have no idea if somebody postulated an answer on your question and I have no time to read all the comments. I did grow up on Puget Sound which is remarkably similar to that area in question. I believe the answer is that the Sea Lion crawled up on the shore and died. PNW crabs are remarkably capable of eating every bit of meat off a skeleton (or nearly every bit). Similarly, terrestrial bugs like Sow Bugs / Rollie Pollies and beetles will clean bones in Summer in very short order. That is how Taxidermists clean deer/elk skulls for Euro mounts. I believe it is a fairly recent death since the ligaments are still keeping the vertebrae together. Otherwise, it would disarticulate and fall willy nilly down the bank.
wow nice commentary episode! what a coincidence the third night at the lake the moment you put a foot on the beach that tree fell in water.
Love ya les. Out of focus or not. I love how you keep it freaking real that's what keeps me watching buddy!!!!!
I LOVE watching Survivorman WITH Survivorman!
You had me at "I'm boring my dog". 😆
But aside from what I said thanks for all the free extra content and filling in some of the gaps. Much appreciated.
I loved your Bigfoot series! There's so much more about Bigfoot. Will you be doing another season about it?
Les is a legend
58:02 Something interesting to note: I have a Ubiquiti Protect IP camera system outside my home and I've noticed its motion detection messes up sometimes and doesn't detect something. Big events like packages being dropped off. I had to mess with the sensitivity settings for a free weeks to get it dialed in where it's not just freaking out and constantly recording, but also doesn't miss something (which it still does anyway). I can't be sure what causes it, but I have a couple theories based on how I think the motion detection works. Namely it compares a series of frames and compares the differences in the pixels and if there isn't enough of a difference, it "discards" them (instead of writing to disk as captured video). That's the basics. But then you have to throw in the fact that there is a lot of cleanup on the images you actually see as the CCDs are actually so sensitive that differences in brightness can be detected FAR below the human eyes threshold (ever notice the "halo" effect in a night vision mode? Where you get that fisheye halo of a gradient circle? There is no actual lighting differences there, but the signal coming from the CCD to the cameras operating system, I believe, is pretty noisy. There are all sorts of algorithms that are used to try and infer validity from those frames because if you only compare color values of the same pixel in two different frames, there will always be a difference. I believe that if the conditions are just right, a flaw in the mathematical algo attempting to detect true motion just concludes there's nothing there. In truth, I think there are actually 5 to 10 times more ACTUAL motion events that are being discarded, and we don't notice them 1) because "if a tree falls in the forest" ie we have no way of knowing it happened but wasn't recorded and 2) most events are usually mundane anyway. I'd bet you there are only a handful of people on the planet that could even comment on the mathematical edge cases in motion detection algos (software engineers for the camera companies probably use a library someone else wrote and the tests they wrote for their code that uses the library is almost certainly a controlled test), and I'd but you they aren't edge cases at all, but the norm. Admiring that would probably throw a lot of red flags legally too. I fear that my cameras may actually miss a break in or damage to my property. I mean, hell, if my driveway cam (Ubiquiti G4 Pro) can miss someone walking up it to my front door, only to have the front door cam (Ubiquiti G3 Bullet) capture the delivery, I wonder how much neither is capturing and I don't notice it because I wasn't surprised by physical evidence being left behind?
Nice guitar!! When survivor man surfaced I was convinced he will encounter sasquatch, it's only a matter of time!!!
Good episode. Got my brain typing more than I like
Excellent! Please continue this series Les, the filming, music, production value is top notch.
Are there plans to continue this series? Thanks.
Hey I been watching your stuff so long, I still am who's crazier eh ? Lol ☮🍁
Oh They are real, Sasy at least , they must have liked you the small one being out proves that !
Your a Brave Man to say the least.
Y'all got to check out that video of the road crew in Canada that's something through a tree out of the freaking Forest about 40 ft in the air yeah about an 18-ft tree check that one out you think that's fake
Les, speaking as someone who has spent his fair share of time in the wilderness (being a former member of the Canadian Forces), whether on my own or via numerous survival courses, I have to admit that to this day I'm more afraid of encountering a Grizzly or a Moose, than I am a Sasquatch... and I *know* that Sasquatch exist.
Why don't you have FLIR it would give you the best idea of what's out there if it's close.
Would live to watch it but way too many ads.
commenting for support
As far as tree structures at the structure that Todd showed To Les you could date the structure by counting the rings on trees in structure and push over or cut a tree in that stand of trees and subtract the number that will give you the dates of tree's applied to that structure.And a comment about the Roger Gimlin footage if i were to try to fake a sasquatch i wouldn't use a female sasquatch that makes it more authentic.
Do another episode of survivorman bigfoot. This time you should go to portlock alaska. The ghost town that was abandoned in 1950 because of a creature called NANTINAQ... ❤️
That would be awesome. I would like that if he talked to the native people and got blessed before. If he does he should go packing. Even if he never says so or shows it on his show
please tell us that you are going to do more investigations on this subject like this one. I enjoy this so much a lot of people respect you you are perfect for this. always hated to hear the ending music because I knew it was over. exciting stuff for sure!
The sea Lion skeleton looks like a Sasquatch decorated his den with his favorite catch.
Nice. I know where a bigfoot lives, but I'd be called crazy, or a nut job... Sad, this is an old story. Older people get called crazy... Why take a picture? I seen it... I'll never forget it. Why would I care if you believe me?
Would really like to see you and Dave Paulides team up again on a program about strange bush encounters
I'd like to see Les check out some of the places where people have dissapeared especially the hunter cases
Yes Indeed.
@The Doctor I kind of have to disagree. Most of the missing can be attributed to mountain lions, bears, venomous snakes, human stupidity, etc. But many Native American and First Nations stories tell of Sasquatch like creatures as being dangerous and kidnapping people. So while the percentage is very small, it shouldn't be discounted.
@The Doctor Big Cat 57. You make no sense . Of course the disappearances have been publically discussed.
"What I believe doesn't matter." This is the attitude that's missing in almost everything else I've seen on the subject. Just as interesting as the idea of whether or not it exists is the beliefs and experiences of the people living in these places.
That's really The crux of everything experience until somebody truly has an experience they really don't know what it truly means to believe That's how it is with my faith and it's the same with the people who have had these experiences no amount of skepticism Will convince them otherwise 🙂
I'm very sorry to tell you this, but that is just silliness.
@wassamattau5787 what part?
@@wassamattau5787hmmmmm?
@wonderingweirdo7476 Well, all of it, really, but essentially, this mistaken assumption that this thing they're claiming to be identifying, this "lack," or failure, in their estimation, is actually even a real thing, or if so anything that matters?
Basically, considered in their singular, immediate context, one person's opinions on any subject _supposedly_ have no effect on reality.. even though it's well established that they do, but the.targe6 audience on this one was the slightly more skeptical type, still on the fence in regards to a great number of phenomena, or possibly even their own experience/s, quite easily won over to the ideas that they ought not ever believe or trust in their own eyes, ears, or common sense, & that anyone who claims anything at all outside the accepted norms, including them, is hy definition a liar, a fool, or a nutcase, & that we can just assume that every single tike & work from there as a premise, & then expect that if any such things existed then they would somehow have seen a great deal more evidence of that fact?
So, bottom line, don't allow a simple truism like this idea about the itrelevance of a bunch of individuals different opinions requiring elements of faith tp accept, be successfully twisted into a weapon to damage your common sense, & causing you to unconsciously accept some insidious false notions, such as that no one's actually knowledge about this subject has any more relevance to it than their beliefs, or that there's a suspicious, likely indicative of some deeper, more nefarious reality regarding the subject, shared flaw among those interested in it, whether skeptic, believer, or knower.
It's simply not true. For example, I _know_ sasquatch exist, or, I'm at least equally confident of the reality of their existence as I am of any other animal species I've never seen in person, or for that matter that I have seen in person, & I am fully aware of & ready to provide not just multiple examples, but also multiple different forms of irrefutable, incontrovertible proof, literally from 9-10 categories just whipping it off the top of my head(not gonna do it here on YT, but I can.. I've got writings somewhere I can dig up of necessary).
And there's extreme value in all of that, for anyone willing to look(& I'm not unique in holding this knowledge, & there are others who have many times whatever amount of knowledge I have about the subject) as there is in the impossibly consistent details found in eyewitness accounts, & so likely in maky other details of their accounts as well, especially accounts from groups of eyewitnesses, & that were much more than fleeting glimpses, or occurred over time, at a cabin, or in a village or town, or rural home, of which there are many, & many of which are also backed by things like physical evidence(sometimes lots of it.. like poor doggies, deer, or livestock twisted multiple times like a twist tie, or ripped to pieces through brute strength, or thrown or carried 150 feet up into a giant fir tree, or whatever, cars, trucks, tractors, boats, or even single or doublwide trailers, or other huge, heavy items picked up & moved, or thrown, police reports & sightings, tracks of a depth folks cannot replicate one of(et alone an entire track way 20 tracks in length with double, triple, or quadruple the stride of a human, & dermal ridges, healed wounds, a general dermal pattern & distinctly nom-human morphology & mechanics despite some striking similarities, all consistently unique to only some, as-yet not officially catalogued by mainstream science creature, thus far identified by tracks, if considering tracks alone, in eastee & western Russis, China, all over N. America, Great Britain, Poland, Germany, Romania, Switzerland, & other European countries, on the Indonesian Archipelago, Australia & New Zealand have slightly different tracks.. as do the Himalayan Yeti, & some southern US hominins, "skunkqpes" & "swamp boogers.. although definitely not all, or even most, & they're still almost certainly closely related to the others.. ut are also likely very closely related creatures, & it's very likely Africa, S.America, the Indian mainland, & many other if not most places in the world has produced closely matching tracks in regards to all of the features I've mentioned) neighbors corroboration, similarities in many details, including odd & obscure ones, to past accounts given by other eyewitnesses, often in sworn affidavits.
This man is a legend, searching for another legend. Amazing!!!
😂😂😂😭😭😭
👍respect
According to some bigfoot legends, the illusive cryptid "Les Stroud" is real!!!
Take all the time you need Les. I’ll be here patiently waiting. Thanks for doing these, it means so much to us 🌎✌️🍻
Les I’m addicted to anything and everything Survivorman but I really enjoy the Bigfoot series. I was recently in a near fatal car wreck and your series is what is helping me cope with all the hours of bed rest and my extremely painful rehab & recovery. Thank you for trying to educate and inform all of your fans and viewers about desperately needed survival skills. Your master classes are great. It really gives me a goal to shoot for in my recovery. Get better so you can get outdoors. I even made my physical therapist laugh when she told me to keep pushing hard I told her you sweat you die. She immediately got the reference and busted out laughing. Keep up the great work and take care of you man.
4:30 Next time I take a pillow into the closet and scream my lungs out, I'm just copying Les Stroud.
Hi Les, thanks for continuing your work as Survivorman: not just as a teacher of survival and bushlore, but as the incredible videographer and filmmaker we all know and love. I have some information that might lend some possible explanation, or at least a direction, to your backbone discovery....
All through the 90s and most of the 2000s I worked in the forests of BC as a field researcher, and saw some pretty incredible/bizarre things. One occurrence that comes to mind was the discovery of an intact backbone that looked quite disturbing at first glance. It was laid out very similar to the one you found (IE: almost straight, perfectly clean, and in open sight). We determined it was a deer once we found the skull, and left it at that. Years later a local elder told us that sometimes hunters would "fillet" an animal like a fish if they were in a hurry, and carry the hide, and front and back quarters to camp for further processing. This resulted in only the backbone, skull, and gutpile being left behind. While I realise this does not in any way explain what YOU encountered, I thought it might help to hear that you are not the only one to have seen such an unexpected sight in the wilderness, and there is at least one possible explanation.
Keep up the great work Les: see you out there!
A great topic to focus on Les ... loved every minute of it. I like listening to what the native Americans have to say about Bigfoot. They've been living with it for many more years. I to believe that it has to be more human than ape. It's footprints look more human than apes. Apes have hand-like feet, and humans don't. Keep up the great work.
i personally think that Les Stroud _nailed_ it with the narration on this series.
it stood out immediately as someone who's followed his work for some time, now.
at first i panicked when i saw _Survivorman: BIGFOOT,_ as Bigfoot TV series on the whole both suck AND blow. but it turned out really good. even GREAT in some parts. i've it saved on my computer for posterity.
by the way, his _Survivorman_ episode on the jungle island where he goes into what occurs in the forest at nigh - i remember literally the entire floor moving with bugs - is one of the best, most memorable things i've ever seen on TV.
Look at those trees! Sasquatch could watch you for hours and you’ll be none the wiser 😉. You have been so close to them and they still evade cameras and our modern tech. Amazing creatures!
yes, you need to go to the Great Northwest to believe it. the trees are as big as skyscrapers, the foliage is thicker than a tropical jungle. Sas could be right next to you & you wouldnt know.
Great commentary. I’ve never seen one but I know they exist. The circumstantial evidence that tips the scale for me is all of the recorded articles in newspapers going back 100-150 years there would have been no hoaxing going on then and the consistency of reports then when people had no way of communicating with each other was just phenomenal. They even match up with events today. It’s relatively easy to weed out hoaxes and hoaxing. Thanks Les
What?! Why could people make up stories 100-150 years ago? Back then g=hoaxes were much more common than they are now.
I really hope he makes a season 2
I've been waiting all week for this to come out. I haven't finished this one yet and I can't wait for the next one to come out.
Wow, it's great Les is still around and doing these commentaries. Love the sincerity, levelheadedness, humility, and editing of your Sasquatch adventure videos. Bro, we gotta hear more about those orbs! How deep does this all go? What's the truth? Could it really be among unmarked black helicopters, telepathy, UFO sightings, or what lies beyond?
wouldn't it be nice to know
I want to share that you are my favorite in approach to the Bigfoot phenomena. I can never get enough. My other favorite is Jeff Meldrum. Most others sensationalize too much.
Loved the 'Survivor Man' series - and this series is wonderful, as well. Having spent a ton of time in the backcountry throughout my life I've had some interesting 'experiences' as well. One of the creepiest was 'hyena-like laughter' echoing in a remote bowl up around Mt. Massive, here in Colorado. That'll make the hair stand on end and freeze your blood, cold. One item to note, when the air feels heavy...no birds, no insects, no animals - the usually vibrant sounds of a forest become oppressively silent? Especially at night - when that happens, dial up your focus and attention because you may be close to having a truly unexplainable event, yourself.
That feeling is eerily familiar.
I live in the Canadian Rockies, I've had some strange experiences myself. I can relate perfectly to that heavy still air.
Hey Les, I've alway been a huge fan. But, Bigfoot....I am even more so....I study lessor primates and have always had hope that they have a big brother or sister out there..When I was in my masters program we were (oddly offhand) told to research the Mt. St. Helens eruption. The national guard, volunteers and unmarked army personnel were gathered to gather all the bodies: People, yes, but mostly bear, deer, elk, birds (raptors and owls), moose, wolves, fox, coyote, anything that died on that side of the mountain......including the large upright hominids indigenes to that area. Many people, volunteers and national guard alike, were forced to put many animals down.However, there was a special army detail specifically there to handle the ape situation. No insignia, no orders. A lot of helicopters. Volunteers had a liaison with who to contact if an ape was found.
I was just curious if you (I know Paulides knows this he was referenced in our textbook) had done any research on this event. It is all FOIA available.
This still one of the best and most memorable stories I've ever heard. One of the few stories to have military involvement.
@@CoconutsGlow Yes. It is a shame that FOIA has become so expensive, because that case is public....Like thousands of dollars per page.....I've tried to work around that through........work.....but, lets just say, I don't have tenure.
What? Never heard about this. FOIA, what is this?
@@kiki29073 Freedom of Information Act.
Fantastic! Really enjoyed your commentary
It brought so much to the programme having you narrate your feelings and thoughts
thanks for this........... and how soon until the next Bigfoot director's commentary?
Hi you have such A bright smile😊you look happy😀
I’m an immigrant in Canada and have been here for 10+yrs now. I remember growing up and survivor man was the show that me and my dad sat down together and watched. But i recently discovered survivor man Bigfoot and I’m really enjoying it. I’m pretty sure if I showed it to him he’ll go down a rabbit hole just like me! So thank you very much Mr. Les stroud!
Growing up in the mojave desert just an hour from big bear california we would hear stories of bigfoots in that area. We were also told stories of the yucca man. They say its the desert version of bigfoot. Has anyone else ever heard of the yucca man or is it just a local story?
@Brisdad53 I did hear about them have special polices. My dad was in the air force for a good amount of time. Very interesting abouy magic mountain i didnt know that defiantly going to look more into that. Its always good to hear about things around me out here in the middle of the mojave. Most people only go on anf on about las vegas or fort irwin.
Check out videos of FOXES screaming - incredibly human sounding. Bone-chilling stuff. Many of the RUclips videos of "Sasquatch" screams sound just like foxes.
That was so bloody good, mate!
I gotta tell yer... I was freaking watching you out there, all alone... and I’m in Australia, where we do not have these real-life hominids to scare the shite out of us. 👍
Australia has regular sightings of this creature,go to Yowie Hunters .com.Mate we have some of the most interesting reports in the world.
I realllllly appreciate how Survivorman Bigfoot doesn't use music and sound effects when he's out there trying to find evidence. That's the dumbest thing about the other bigfoot shows..and they all do it.
Did you ever do a follow up to that trip in the last episode you showed where you and the camera guy saw those lights, would love to see another visit to that location.
64 years since the phenomenon started in California and still no body or clear unquestionably legit photo Too many idiots crowding the woods. I’m 68 yrs old and doubt. anybody finds one in my lifetime
Once long ago I was hunting. I had gotten to the end of the road. All of a sudden I got the creeps as if something was watching me. I took the safety off on my gun and slowly walked out of there, continously looking behind myself. That area at the end of the road was very wooded and I couldn't see much into it. This area was the Stono River delta swamp of South Carolina. I remembered this when you mentioned looking behind yourself as you are leaving an area.
Love when Les covers Bigfoot
I love to sit and watch Todd Standing and now you Les! I noodle on my Stratocaster and search for bigfoot or is it bigfeet? Anyway I noticed your guitar in the commentary, I wonder if a trail guitar could draw a female, it works with humans! You might end up with a 800 pound girlfriend!
@@paulcummings6879 you are
I love your bigfoot stories. They are spiritual I BELEIVE and real at times hard to explain. I don't really like Todd Standing after his fake pictures of the Muppet looking Sasquatch. Keep up the great work! And I heard about your mind speak experiences, I BELEIVE ALL that you day, your as real as they get.
Thanks for the Directors commentary on the Bigfoot series !! There are many of us that have been waiting for a long time to get the behind the scenes information not available with the original episode. I really appreciate that you approach the topic as Research instead of commercial exploitation or ridicule ! Keep up the good work, on all of your projects as well as your music. 👍
Why did God create these beings, we just encountered a whole family back behind my grandparents house and one yelled at us while my husband was getting his go cart by putting a new belt on and then about 4 or 5 more yelled after, like they were all surrounded us down in the Big Thicket woods, we got out of there out of my respect for my husband because he seen one in broad daylight in Washington state, I wanted to stay and record but I told him to get in the car. They caught us off guard and I didn't have phone set to video on. They must have been passing through to the lake here at the Reservation in Texas. They are real but creepy.
You may want to email.Wes at sasquatch chronicles to share your account
MR. Stroud, please do more narrating too, your voice is so captivating! It's like when you talk people listen.
You really have the gift of storytelling. I love documentary films and these Bigfoot ones you've made are very compelling. I can watch them over and over. You've really mastered every element of the craft. I hope you keep making them. I can't wait for the next one.
Thank You Les!!! YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST!!!
Thumbs up before I even started the video.
Just got back from our camping trip in Sasquatch hot spot. Very rustic, off the grid camping. No electricty, no plumming, no WIFI.
Very happy that no one ended up in the next Missing 411 book!
No Sasquatch activity, but I wore my camera on my back while hiking. Haven't reviewed the film yet. But both my dad and daughter have things that look like orbs that showed up on pictures but they didn't see then with their eyes. I REALLY don't want to believe in the whole orb thing but...first Les said see has heen them, and I trust Les, and both cameras picked up the same lights from different angles...??? Don't know what to think?
Love the show Les! BIGFOOT or Kooshdaakaa as we call them in Southeast Alaska, will definitely pull pranks to see how you will react. If you ever hear "waashiewoowoo" in the forest but can't quite tell where or what it is, have a mirror or camera handy recording behind you. A bigfoot may be messing with you. Keep up the good work, I've been a fan since the first season of survivorman 🤘🙂
Hi Les,
I live on the 37th parallel in the middle of the country (Ozark) and have seen and encountered things I cant explain. I would love it if you could DM me your email address or something so I can share with you in detail and get your veiw on the situation.
Thanks ..hopefully you see this
Hey man I really think you should check out “howtohunt.com” channel here on RUclips. He takes emails and will read them aloud on his channel and give his insight. Unless you don’t want him to. But he’s a good hard working honest no BS man. And I think you’d like the community around that channel. In any case I hope you find the answers you seek. The public WILL be made aware of these things. And soon
After years of trying to figure out what Bigfoot is... I've come to the conclusion that Bigfoot is a spiritual being of earth and can travel back and forth throughout dimensions. (Thats what my gut tells me anyway)
P.S ... All my bigfoot experiences (3 different times) happened when I was alone in the middle of the woods hunting deer.
@@reeverfalls2069 thanks man I'll check it out.. sorry im about 2 years late on this reply
@@Hoffa_ better late than never friend.
First of all my partner was able to mind speak
with
an
adult male who told us their little girl had been shot. That day I had heard the automatic gunfire near my home. I asked if they buried her and they said there was not enough left to bury. I asked that question to find out about their dead. I have also seen their son who was still short haired being young but about 5 to y feet tall run up a short hill in my backyard on all fours I n an attempt to not be seen . There more but typing is not fun for me
Life after Life Plus Bullshit! You’re saying someone is shooting at Bigfoot with machine guns? And bullets aren’t freaking bombs, they wouldn’t turn a body into nothing. I call BS.
I was told when I was spending time in Klemtu that after your crew left, the Sasquatch's screams could be heard all the way down to the village from the lake as a warning to not disturb them anymore. True story.
Should've got that on tape and sent it to him
I've loved watching survivorman and I've always been fascinated with anything to do with Bigfoot so I had to watch survivorman Bigfoot .
Before this came out I wondered if you had any experiences with anything strange while doing survivorman then I watched you on a podcast on RUclips where you talked about the time you were in Alaska.
You notice that the Patterson footage (assuming it wasn't just a guy in a suit) was filmed with an old reel film camera; Purely mechanical, no electronics to malfunction. Perhaps it's time for researchers to go low-tech again.
The Patterson footage has many stories with it . One of them is that a Bigfoot termination crew bumped into the guys hoping to film Bigfoot. It has been said the hunters had a trained dog and were terminating a troop of Bigfoot. They killed a young one and buried it on the river bank and knew the female would come to it and give the opportunity to film it.
pjama bin smarter lol So you are telling me that they killed a big foot in order to film a Bigfoot?
Nice sunburst Strat..!!! Looks a dreadnought next to and behind it., probably a Martin
Love the native names for Sasquatch
Thanks again for some more great content Les, always much appreciated! Can't wait to see more from you, keep living your best life and I'll always be here to support.
I always really appreciated the Survivorman Bigfoot series probably the only show that took the legend seriously
Vancouver Island BC I have heard that blood curtailing scream in the bush, I was running my dogs through the bush moving fast on a mountain bike,my dog took of chasing something he ended up down a big cliff at a river. I was at the top looking down and heard this scream, totally freaked me out and I took right of. I think my dog caught up with whatever it was I assume a sasquatch, luckily my dog caught up with us I think he got scared to and took off.
I never even gave these episodes a chance before. Les put it perfectly. I doesn't matter what he thinks. It's what they believe. Very cool.
Regarding the falling tree:
For the sake of easy numbers, let’s say there are 1,000,000 trees within sight/earshot. If each of those trees live to an AVERAGE of around 200 years (73,000 days), and assuming they were not all planted at once and instead have seeded randomly over hundreds of years. They you might conclude that the likelihood that any one tree will die on any given day is 1 in 13.7 (1,000,000/73,000), and the odds of rot and fall would be the same as death odds (1 in 13.7). Not terrible odds.
(Probably slightly increased odds following rainfall too)
Please correct me on the math if I have miscalculated (understanding that I’m using some very round numbers of course).
When I was in my 20's I was bark peeling with my cousin , and camped overnight without a tent. We were almost asleep when a big tree fell across the road in the woods. We jumped out of our sleeping bags, and threw an empty box on the fire that was almost out. I'm sure we had the same look on our face like Les. Nothing happened though, but we both were into Sasquatch back then!
This whole rock throwing suggestion mystifies me. Cones fall off pine and spruce trees continuously, and it's literally an object travelling through the air, and hitting the ground. Considering how prolific these species of trees are to these areas, how couldn't this be the only logical conclusion to this phenomena. Occam's Razor, the simplest explanation is usually the best one. Plus, the Sagan Standard, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Do more Bigfoot stuff Mr Straud.
Yaaaas!
Mating foxes (both red & gray foxes) and some species of howls (such as Cicadas) also make horrible woman-screaming-like sounds. Cicada howls are called "La Llorona" (the Screaming woman) in some tropical areas of Mesoamerica for the sounds they make.
The wood knocking. Many years ago when we had one around here , including my woods. I had no idea what was doing the strange things that summer and i did not even know about wood knocking. But that year i went looking for poachers several times and never found anything. That wood knocking was more like hunters do driving deer. It is a steady knocking and it continues multiple times over and over.
The sasquatch exist for sure and you can survive anywhere proven fact. How about surviving in the city's, living with the homeless eating out of dumpsters, dealing with drugged out people with out hope. Teaching cardboard box construction and being able to keep your stuff and place to sleep.??
Thanks Les! Long awaited Sasquatch re-visit...love it! I have to know, on your last episode of your last Bigfoot series (hidden world of Bigfoot) you heard an amazing vocal(scream like). What was that like? Did it rock you? From this side of the camera, it seemed chilling! Can you give us a few more words to what you experienced that night?
Can you name that episode? I'd like to listen to that!
Regarding you’re comment at around 10 minutes in, i used to think it was definitely silly and akin to a ghost hunter show. Instead of passing judgment on something i had never seen, watching you’re commentary (and then actually going and watching a few you’ve posted) i understand it. Someone could have easily make a cheesy bigfoot show and have. You say it yourself, its not what you believe and its clear you made the show with that in mind. What i think doesn’t matter but I don’t know if its even possible to discover another sentient megafauna like humans. On the other hand, many people are having real encounters that haven’t been explained. Id like to try and observe animals in the wild and see if they make unexpected noises.
I live on a lake woods of Minnesota and was at my home bonfire on the shore with some friends. We had a whitetail deer walk up six feet not knowing we where there. They sometimes let out an alarm by huffing but this deer was frightened beyond belief, frozen, and bellowing like a banshee. Ive scoured the internet looking for an audio clip of a deer making that noise we but it doesn’t exist, if i didnt see it coming from the deer’s mouth or nose(?) i would haven’t a clue what that was made by. Now in not suggesting someone should go out and try and get animals to make weird noises, thats a big yikes haha. But a study for “ape-like sounds” in already known animals in regions where encounters are wound not be in vain. You call it a phenomenon and I completely agree, its a known phenomenon and theres everything from ancient legends baked into cultures around the world, to modern experiences.
There’s also genetic instinct to account for, let me explain. There’s a prevalent theory as to why that uncanny valley exists. Uncanny valley is a phrase dubbed for when something looks almost very human but not quite. And that little difference is inherently freaky to us as humans. The theory is, while homo sapiens and other hominids where evolving it was beneficial to be able to distinguish between the fellow human and that of a different species. Humans war, its unfortunate but humans fight, alot. Even chimps stage war. Humans are one of the only species to make competitive team sport, witch probably helped us with war. Yeah humans could and did in fact breed with other hominids. Its Literally in our DNA. But we are great at war, we evolved with it. Prehumans evolved with it and reason suggests we prevailed as the dominant humanoid because we are darn good at it. we evolved along while competing against eachother and likely uncanny valley is likely something unconscious from a bygone era.
Now why that relates to bigfoot and ape noises and sightings, therapists like using the example of anxiety and the tiger is because anxiety is good for us when it works correctly right? Its good to be a little anxious when there could be a tiger( or in your case a jaguar) behind you’re back about to go for you’re corroded artery and pipe. Now alot of times their wont be anything there, but when its dark and you are camping amongst preditors youll think you see something put the corner of your eye and youll look to be safe. Imaginaing that tiger is good, keeps you alive. But its freaky because you swore you saw something for it to turn out to be nothing. Imagination is such a powerful tool in our survival. Sometimes too powerful in the case of my anxiety disorder. Anxiety is not good when you are approaching finals week and have panic attacks, thats the disorder. The order is the tiger. Long story short Uncanny valley could be an instinctual anxiety cooked onto our dna because of waring and raids from other protohumans and hominids.
So with all that said my mulitfacited hypothesis, developed over the corse of writing this mini essay is:
There are noises we hear, expecially when in the wilderness, created potentially by animals but like with uncanny valley the noises dont have to be the same to have the same uncanney effect. These noises and visuals like uncanny valley developed from compitition with other hominids. And thats why we have bigfoot legends and sightings, because we saw or heard something either hear and couldn’t see or saw and couldn’t explain and it ticked that instinct, that anxiety of a evolutionary competitor ambusing you in the night. Now thats a hypothesis i wrote at 2 am to explain the so dubbed ‘phenomenon’. One of many and i don’t necessarily believe it i just hypothesized it. Quoting you, what i think doesn’t matter, not as an individual. What matters is the truth and far be it from me to say yours or anyone else’s experiences where some how not true.
Like i said at the beginning, before thinking about it, i thought it was a bit silly, never did it take away from my image of you. Ive always liked criptids and legends of beasts and spirits, such as the windigo and i get so freaked out i dont like to even say skinwalker but stuff like that is fascinating. Like fox molder, I want to believe. Im glad you made survivorman bigfoot, its dismissive of anyone to judge you for it, and you went about making it the right way, respectful, curios, and tasteful. It could very well have turned out tacky and silly had anyone else made it.
On a side note for anyone reading this, theres a really funny and a bit cruel video of a guy getting two bigfoot hunters to track eachother by trying to attract bigfoot with calls and such. It might have been the hilarious nathan fielder i can’t remember. Long comment but if anyone actually reads this or finds it when googling me, one, i mainly wrote this for myself and two, why are you googling me lol. And three, hi Les, long time viewer. You where a staple of my childhood, ive learned from and have been entertained so much by you over the years. Im now a legal adult and to have these commentaries coming out is an absolute blast. Also love wild harvest, reminds me of the anthony Bourdain parts unknown episode where he goes to Copenhagen for not his usual country encompassing tour of food and culture but one specific chef: Renė Redzepi. Who happened to run a restaurant who served only wild foraged food. Not only serving them but researching and exploring them in a lab. Things like fermented fish and pickled roses and all sorts of things.
Anyways thanks for reading, kind regards,
Kyle
Can't wait for more of these. I'd love to sit down and swap stories with Les.
You would never get a word in. He loves to hear himself talk
You weren't seeking shit but $. Dave Paulides hope I spelled his last name right is a truthful man and I would take his word for it and advice, as far as Scott carpenter he's the guy who has NEVER had a sasquatch experience and blatantly photoshops bushes, leaves, & branches into anything and everything like his whitish leaves on the bush in the foreground that he blatantly turned and photoshopped into a white sasquatch LMMFAO. Scott wrote a factual book but has never had but wishes he's had an actual personal experience with sasquatch
This is one of my favorite favorite Sasquatch productions I've ever seen, cannot tell you how many times I watched those two first episodes, and all the rest that came after. No, Les didn't find/film one, yes, the series wrapped with an open ending and most of the questions left unanswered, but the sincerety and calm vibe that runs throughout make the series something to be experienced more than simply viewed. Great, great stuff. I hope like hell that there will be more one day.
Laurel Lake deep down in Kentucky last June. Same thing happened to us while on a boat Fishing. Talk about SPOOKED LOL.
That "raven" was actually a steller's jay. One of my favorite PNW birds. They are very inquisitive, social, and intelligent and are very fun to watch.
Lol, that one bugged me too
BC's provincial bird.
Are there some isolated populations of Gigantalopithicus still remaining? Who knows. Some hair, faeces, footage or bones would be nice.
An open-minded sceptical mind is the way to go though until there is some concrete evidence.
Brilliant content Les 👍😏
Love this show. Greets from Brasil.
Hey Les, love your stuff bud. You should look up Peter Caine, I'd love to hear your opinion. He's batshit crazy, but I think he has a few legit things in his possession. He posts videos on RUclips all the time.
Please Another Bigfoot Series Les!! Loved the last one it was Amazing :D I'm sure there's more to catch and find out. Maybe you and Todd Standing do something together :) Pure Excitement!! Thanks for everything Les
Yes another series, no to Todd. Lol. He's just too controversial.
Two years ago at 4 o.clock in the morning is was on the back porch haveing a cigarette .I had a wood nock about 100 yards from me .that was scary .I waited about ten minutes then I knocked back . I didn't here it anymore .it did it Right after I turn on the back porch light . Griffin ga.
I did enjoy it. Thank you. And thank you for all of survivorman. I really enjoyed watching it during my youth I've always been an outdoorsman and hunter and it was refreshing to watch a guy like me. It was the end of an era right as"reality tv" was talking over to see something raw and real. Thank you again.
If I lived out there all alone, I would also knock over trees to see your reaction. I mean what other form of entertainment would I have. The person would get a good story out of the experience and I would get a good laugh, win win.
Enjoy all your stuff but you are being very hypocritical by saying if they exist. you say there are 4 choices when we hear the stories, and how many people have you interviewed, lets say just in this case? Are they all lying Les? You cant say you believe the stories, and just after 'if they exist at all' you have to get off the fence there.
